Overview
Dr. Rida Gadhafi (S’10, M’13’, SM’20) received her PhD in Optics and Radio Frequency from Universit ́e Grenoble Alpes, France in 2013. She also held a post-doctoral position with Technische Universit ̈at Dresden, Germany. Currently, she is an assistant professor and program director of Master of Electrical Engineering at the College of Engineering and IT (CEIT) at the University of Dubai. Prior to joining the University of Dubai, she worked as a research scientist at Khalifa University, Masdar City Campus, Abu Dhabi since March 2015. She has published several research papers in international journals and conferences. Her main research interests include RF communication and RF (microwave/mm-wave) component design, specifically lunar communication, chipless Radio Frequency Identification tags, on-chip antennas, PCB antennas and filters, among others. Dr. Rida was a recipient of the Teaching Excellence Award from the University of Dubai in 2023, IEEE Best Student Paper Awards in 2011 and 2012 respectively, and IEEE MTT-S Student Sponsorship from International Microwave Symposium, Canada in 2012. She is a senior member of IEEE and vice-chair of IEEE MTT/AP/IMS UAE chapter.
